Thank you, Cameron, for your continuing encouragement to hang on to our values and resist the current madness.

The empire’s gotten lazy with its metaphors. Golden ballrooms, AI airstrikes, and a king who mistakes excrement for symbolism. It’s like Rome rebooted with worse writers. Blessed be the ones who still name the rot with humor, who laugh not to escape but to stay sane while the marble cracks.

Wow. What a powerful observation. I couldn't agree more. "It’s like Rome rebooted with worse writers." Amen. I'm thinking about how so many of the major movie production companies are stuck making "remakes" of old films. We are in loops that create faded copies, satisfying no one. Thank you for deepening our thinking here.

Couldn't agree more. This piece is briliant. When you mention the 'erosion of meaning', how do we even begin to measur that impact?

The contrast between the sacred and profane is being portrayed out in front of our eyes. The only possible benefit is that more and more people will have “eyes to see” and not remain blind to what is in plain sight. Thank-you for shining light on this Truth.

My God, I saw the video before I got this post and laughed at it, assuming it was posted by someone who does not support the current president. Is there confirmation that he posted the video? I no longer find it humourous.

Trump’s response to No Kings Day. The peaceful protests mean nothing to Trump. What it does is make him even more emboldened as evidenced by that AI generated disdain for America and to prove his point, he chose New York City.
